I was booked at the Lighthorseman in York for two nights during April last year but the first lockdown meant I had to cancel my arrangements and I got a prompt refund.Just booked into my hotel in York, had a beer need to find an eatery now.
The Old Siam on Micklegate is good and there's a few good pubs nearby as well.Just booked into my hotel in York, had a beer need to find an eatery now.
I'm NOT going to be drawn into discussing York pubs on here except to comment that I first got round a few of them on 24th June 1973.The Old Siam on Micklegate is good and there's a few good pubs nearby as well.
That's why I didn't mention any specific names of any drinking establishments.I'm NOT going to be drawn into discussing York pubs on here except to comment that I first got round a few of them on 24th June 1973.
Very wise.That's why I didn't mention any specific names of any drinking establishments.
You've reminded me that two years ago I used Huddersfield's Corner, now permanently closed, and Lichfield's Whippet Inn.We're at The Hilton, ended up at Lucias on Swinegate. Via a couple of hydration stops at The Corner Pin and The Whippet Inn. Would've been tempted to eat at The Whippet but they were fully booked for dining.
A New Inn.Took a walk down from the village today. I just turn right outside the drive and within a few yards I'm on a country lane. Down into the valley then turn left and back up a steep slope that brings me back into the centre of the village. Only a couple of miles, but good excuse to pop in for a pint and sit outside in the October sunshine. Classic blue sky with cotton wool clouds and even though the Sun is low in the sky these days, there' still a bit of thump in it.

Do you mean the New Inn that then moved to @BobClay's village in Cornwall?A New Inn.
You probably remember the New Inn on Broad Eye when it was kept by Arthur Candlin Junior before it became Props Wine Bar.

Did they mount it on the rowing boats and float it down there? They seemed to disappear around the same time.
Naw, those guys were entertaining and funny, not boring, tedious old rummysAt the risk of upsetting Glam, do you remember this particular bar from TV yesteryear ? These two characters in particular, which while I'm not going to mention any names, do remind me of one or two people on here .......

Last time - three years ago? - that I went down that way, it was lit from Hilton Park southwards.Question: what’s the M6 like at like 10pm or so? Is it actually lit? Haven’t really done a whole lot of nighttime motorway driving as I just haven’t needed to so far
Trying to decide between driving down to the Hippodrome and getting a train on Saturday…
